That’s a lot of smack talk for someone who didn’t provide a link to their own, even more impressive project.

This kind of reaction reminds me of people who can’t fathom why anyone would use a database without an ORM. (And meanwhile I’m confused because nearly everything I do with a database would be twice as difficult and ten times slower with an ORM in the way.)

I use Prisma and the TS typings in generates automatically have saved me countless times.

I used to hate ORMs like you. But auto generated types were the killer feature.

Must not be doing anything very complicated. Wheres your impressive link if thats a prerequisite for discussion? Some ORMs suck, I’ll give you that.

[simondotau → enriquec]

It’s only a prerequisite if you want to belittle people and accuse them of making ignorant technology choices. (If the discussion was ORMs, I’d be delighted to have an excuse to share and promote my public projects. But my earlier aside doesn’t constitute a change of topic for this thread.)

[enriquec → simondotau]

Wrong, its not a prerequisite in any case.

[simondotau → enriquec]

Wrong. It’s the rule, and has been thus for at least 270 years. Breaking it attracts a $500 fine and a gentle slap in the face with a pair of leather driving gloves.
